Jason Blum Still Contemplating a Shared Universe of Blumhouse Horror Characters

Published

on

A handful of memorable characters have emerged from Blumhouse‘s horror movies over the years, including villains like Bughuul and heroes like Happy Death Day‘s Tree Gelbman, but to date we’ve never actually seen any of those characters cross-over into the worlds of other Blumhouse movies. But that *could* happen someday, Jason Blum notes in a new interview.

CinePOP asked Blum the question in the interview you’ll find below, and he seemed quite open to the idea – even if he wishes he had laid the groundwork for it years ago.

We would like to do that. We’re thinking about  it,” Blum answered the question. “I probably should have… It would have been easier to do had I thought of it earlier, but we’re thinking of doing it – with some of [the characters], anyway. And it’s something that I’d really like to do.”

Never say never, as Blum is apt to note.

‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ Brings the Netflix Franchise into the 1980s

Fear Street 1980s

Netflix’s Fear Street franchise launched back in Summer 2021 with three movies, the trilogy saga telling one complete story that spanned from 1666 all the way up to 1994.

Directed by Leigh Janiak, the three movies were Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978 and Fear Street: 1666, the first film taking a page out of the Scream playbook, the second paying tribute to the golden age of slasher cinema, and the final film turning the clock even further back. What’s next from the saga? The fourth film is titled Fear Street: Prom Queen.

Coming soon, Fear Street: Prom Queen is based on the same-titled book that R.L. Stine published in 1992, and it’s set to take the film franchise – yet again – into a brand new decade.

Fear Street: Prom Queen will be nestled between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978, with the new movie confirmed this week to be set in the late 1980s!

In Fear Street: Prom Queen, “Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”

Matt Palmer (Calibre) is directing the franchise’s upcoming fourth installment.

The Prom Queen was book #15 in R.L. Stine’s teen franchise, originally published on March 1, 1992. If you’d like to read it before the movie comes out, you can always find copies on eBay.

No word yet on when the Netflix movie will be released. Stay tuned for updates.
